Ever since the official public release of iOS 6.1 yesterday, the iOS hacker team, known as evad3rs, has been hard at work in debugging and building a jailbreak method. It was confirmed that the public version of iOS 6.1 was jailbreak safe, and that the iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak would include over 22 variants of iOS devices including the new iPhone 5, iPad Mini, iPod touch 5G, and latest iPad with retina display.

Planetbeing, part of the evad3rs iOS hacking team, has come forward early Tuesday morning saying that he hopes the iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak will be ready after about a week. As expected, he says there’s always the possibility that it could come sooner or later, depending on their luck and progress.

MuscleNerd also hinted on Monday that something special might surface on Super Bowl Sunday. Perhaps the iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak? No one knows for sure yet.

Planetbeing also says that there’s no rush to get your devices to iOS 6.1 just yet, however if you want to be prepared for the inevitable, you can update right now if you want to. Be sure to update through iTunes instead of OTA (over the air) updating. Planetbeing recommends a full restore to iOS 6.1.

TinyUmbrella was also updated with iOS 6.1 support so you can save your iOS 6.1 SHSH blobs – alternatively, you can also use redsn0w. The blobs aren't very useful at this point in time, but they may turn up useful in the future.

If you choose the absinthe method with redsnow it is literally one click, press jailbreak and redsnow does the rest. No DFU. Obviously you have to be on 5.1.1 for this though.

So the issue is when a new jailbreak, for a new iOS, is released - is Greenpois0n or Redsn0w the faster method? I still believe only Greenpois0n has the one click method in that case. Correct me if I'm missing something, guys.

They do the same thing, in the same amount of time.

One additional button to choose your jailbreak method isn't going to slow you down, unless you count milliseconds as a legitimate reason to call one faster or slower.

Not to have this hopelessly digress to a grammar war - but you're understanding of grammar isn't 'quote right' there. The truth is either 'has been' or 'have been' are proper depending on the context.

Evad3rs (generally speaking - some nonspecific group) HAVE been...
Evad3rs (the specific group as a whole) HAS been..

ACtually the 2nd choice there sounds way better to my native English years. And not to prop myself up - as that's uncool - but I'm the administrator/moderator of one of the larger Spanish grammar forums on the net. I know my grammar English and Spanish... But again - not to digress - just had to say it.. lol!!

One other common English mistake is to change the verb to meet the last word said as in - "Each of them HAVE been...." which is 100% incorrect. It can only be - "Each of them HAS been.." - though that's a very common mistake in English even from reasonably educated speakers..

BACK to Jailbreak now..

You deserve more thanks ( i mean "like" but I'm not sure what u guys use on forums )

Okay.. Anthony I got you now! So this IS going to be the FIRST time Redsn0w is as easy AT a Jailbreak. It wasn't the case when 5.1.1 JB was initially released. MuscleNerd made the update later.. per what you are saying. I knew I wasn't forgetting the greater ease with GP even at 5.1.1 release.
